Sugaring Paste
Sugaring paste can be prepared with common household food items such as water, sugar, lemon juice,cornstarch,honey and molasses.Since natural sugar is used in the solution, it also has the benefit of being anti-bacterial.
Lemon juice is added for its acidity, which breaks up the sucrose into fructose and glucose. As in candy making, this gives the finished sugaring wax a non-crystalline, or amorphous, structure. Getting the correct consistency takes practice for most users. Pre-made sugar paste is also sold. This includes professional and retail versions, which may contain guar gum among other ingredients.Since sugaring paste is water-based and water-soluble, the substance can be easily cleaned up with warm water.
